2012 Volkswagen Touran 2.0L Diesel · ML62 AEE

The 2012 Volkswagen Touran with 107,649 miles shows no recorded defects in its most recent MOT on 2025-12-10, though a failure on the same date at identical mileage raises questions. The prior tests from 2024-11-30 to 2022-11-08 also reported no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. However, the lack of detailed failure notes for the 2025 test limits clarity on whether the issue was minor or structural. The vehicle’s age and mileage align with typical usage, suggesting consistent operation without significant mechanical strain. The MOT history reveals irregular testing intervals, with the longest gap between 2024-11-30 and 2025-12-10 exceeding 13 months. Mileage progression from 94,203 to 107,649 miles shows steady accumulation, averaging 7,689 miles annually. No spikes or drops in mileage suggest regular use, though the absence of detailed defect records in recent tests prevents assessment of wear on components like suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions. A buyer should inspect the exhaust system, suspension, and brake components for corrosion or wear, as these are common issues in 14-year-old vehicles. The 2025 failure, though unexplained, warrants scrutiny of the vehicle’s structural integrity and emission controls. Despite the clean defect history, the lack of recent MOT data beyond 2025-12-10 means the current roadworthiness status remains partially uncertain. A pre-purchase inspection should prioritise these areas to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical soundness.
